nistcu.dll Error with LabVIEW2009 trial and niDaqmx 860

[DavidRodz]

Hello everyone,

I have been searching and trying to make this work for the last few days.  The problem is that I need to run some examples of a device's sdk.  When i try to load them I get a error message displayed about niSTCu.dll missing("This application has failed to start because niSTCu.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.").   The thing is that I have installed quite diferrent versions of niDaq and the last clean install(I erased the other previous versions) was with the one mentioned above(the latest one).  I don't know if I need to re-install the labview itself but I did re-install the daq.  I dont know were to find that dll, I even installed the GPIB driver  ni-488.2 and still I have that problem. I really need to run it please help!!!!

David.

It would certainly help if you would provide the device you are using. Pretty important information.

[DavidRodz]

Its a Luna technologies OVA STe.

Well, that's obviously not an NI product so you should really ask them or open up your box to see what NI product might be used by it.

[DavidRodz]

Well they gave me the examples and a lot of vi's to use with labview so I only want to run the examples that are on labview :D..

You are going to have to do better than that. You can't simply mention that you want to run some unknown example that may or may not use some NI hardware. Attach one  of these examples or find out the NI hardware.

Oh I'm sorry i thought it was a place to post problems with the LabView software.. I am still going to use the usb to gpib card to connect to the rest of the hardware.  But if you can't help I understand thanks anyway.

It is a place to post but you seem to be unwilling to provide enough information for anyone to help. You refuse to post this example code. If you would do that simple thing, someone would know what LabVIEW functions are being used and what driver is required. Why can't you do this simple task? The problem is not with LabVIEW.

If you have problems talking to a GPIB instrument, don't even think of posting unless you provide the make and model of the instrument.

Edit - it seems that dll is part of the obsolete traditional DAQ driver - not DAQmx.

Oh I am really sorry I am new to this forum and even to LabVIEW and everything.  I will provide the code example when I get to the office and I will try and install the traditional daq since I remember they told me it was made on labview version 6.  I am sorry again and I will provide anything you guys need for helping me. Thanks again I am just a really stuck amateur.
